Chapter 117: Truly Irresistible

Afterward, One Beast withdrew the Andurur Beast’s palm and continued to search its body. In the next moment, he pulled something else from within the Andurur Beast’s body.

Andurur Beast Data (Rare · Epic · Andurur Beast)
Type: Consumable
Required Attributes: None
Description: The Andurur Beast can grow stronger through upgrades, and its data shares this trait. Any digital beast with an overall combat power below 3,000 can use the Andurur Beast’s data to boost its technical attributes by a certain percentage and fully restore all previously consumed energy.

There was no denying that this was indeed a divine item. Unfortunately, it could only be used on digital beasts with a combat power under 3,000, and only once. Regardless, it was a very valuable asset. This time, it seemed One Beast had absorbed a portion of the mecha dragon’s aura, resulting in such a substantial reward.

Moreover, if this item were to be produced but remained unusable, One Beast believed it could still be sold, as there would surely be buyers. How much they would pay was unknown, but at least the currency involved was gold coins.

Having retrieved this item, a faint smile involuntarily curved One Beast’s lips. It was clear that he felt pleased. He then resumed exploring the Andurur Beast’s body. Whatever he found next would be a profit. And indeed, he pulled out another item.

Andurur Beast Metal (Treasure · Excellent · Andurur Beast)
Type: Armor
Required Attributes: Overall combat power above 1,000 or a perfect-form digital beast
Description: This metal was forged by melting down the remnants of the mechanical Andurur Beast after its final defeat, cast into a massive furnace. It appeared liquid in form and, when used, coated the wearer’s body, passively increasing their defense by 40%. If the wearer was killed or the durability dropped to zero, the metal would be destroyed. The defensive boost had an upper limit of 50,000 points.
Durability: 100/100

This was undeniably another powerful item, perfectly complementing the Andurur Beast’s arm to form a balanced offense-and-defense set.

One Beast’s eyes gleamed as he inspected the Andurur Beast’s body. It seemed there was still something left to find. To be honest, he was curious about what the fourth item might be. Without hesitation, he drew out another piece.

Andurur Beast Muscle (Special · Superior · Andurur Beast)
Type: Material
Required Attributes: None
Description: The only biological tissue left on the half-mechanical Andurur Beast, this muscle could be used as a material to craft poison. However, if the harmful elements were removed, it could be used directly. The user would restore a certain amount of various consumed resources and had a chance to gain a temporary buff.

Truth be told, this item didn’t quite match the caliber of the previous ones One Beast had obtained. Still, something was better than nothing. Even if he couldn’t use it himself, it should be sellable—though how much it would fetch was uncertain.

Next, One Beast continued to explore the Andurur Beast’s body, hoping to find more materials. Unfortunately, nothing else appeared; it was as if all the valuable items had already been taken.

“Finally done,” One Beast murmured after the search and then promptly exited the dungeon.

As he left, a system panel suddenly appeared before him, announcing: “A new event will commence in the game two days from now.”

This so-called new event had been in preparation since the game’s launch. Had it not been for previous incidents, it would have been the game’s very first official event.

Regardless, the matter was settled, and given the long planning behind it, the developers decided to proceed with the event.

Of course, the event’s intensity wouldn’t match that of the Twelve Demon Emperor dungeon. It was designed as a small-scale activity for the new server launch. Major events were reserved for special occasions such as festivals, half-anniversaries, anniversaries, and similar milestones.

Still, as the saying went, something was better than nothing. Even if this event’s strength was lacking, it would be far preferable to having no event at all.

“Looks like this is good news,” One Beast said softly, a faint smile touching his lips as he looked at the system panel.

He had already felt his rate of enhancement slowing down, but with this event arriving in two days, his growth should accelerate once more.

Having received this positive update, One Beast glanced around and saw no signs of others nearby. A subtle smile appeared on his face, and he began cooking. He had not forgotten his secondary profession. Taking advantage of this quiet moment to hone his culinary skills seemed like a fine idea.

Unlike last time, when he hastily began cooking, this time One Beast was well prepared. He had all the necessary pots, pans, and seasonings—oil, salt, sauces, and vinegar. He then took some of the meat he had gathered earlier and started cooking.

About ten minutes later, One Beast finally finished frying a piece of meat. He sliced off a small portion and placed it in his mouth. Mmm, delicious.

Of course, compared to ordinary food in the real world, this was still somewhat lacking. But compared to the last time he had eaten in the game, it was far better.

Just as One Beast was savoring the meat, another system panel appeared before him. After reading its contents, his eyes suddenly gleamed with a sharp light.
